ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Doughnut (driving)

So, there's a game that some people play when they're driving their cars. They go to a wide open space, like a parking lot, and they drive in circles really fast. But then, instead of just driving in circles, they turn the steering wheel really hard so that the car starts sliding sideways in a big circle. It looks kinda like a doughnut!

This is called a "doughnut" and it's not a safe thing to do on regular roads with other cars around. But in a big open space where no one else is around, it can be a fun way for people to show off their driving skills.

Remember though, just because it looks cool doesn't mean it's safe or legal. So stick to regular driving rules on real roads!
